Words cannot describe the beauty of these swifts, with the Scheepjes logo crafted into the base. Family members hands are now safe from the time consuming task of helping me wind a hank of yarn into a ball.

This yarn swift, is not only practical, smooth and graceful in it’s workings, but looks and feels like a heirloom piece. It comes in a selection of wood finishes including : Beechwood, Rosewood or a combination of both.

Also available with either a clamp base to attach to a table top, or a flat base to sit on any surface.

This festive season Scheepjes have been busy launching a whole array of crafting accessories. This pretty Lucet fork is just one of them. Beautifully crafted from maple wood with a Scandinavian feel, this Lucet fork should be a staple for any crafter’s toolbox.

If you’ve never used a Lucet fork before, Esther from It’s all in a Nutshell has prepared a video where she demonstrates how it can be used. It also makes a handy stocking filler gift for any young crafter.

Our After party Booklets are a fabulous stocking filler for any yarn lover. Each booklet contains a single pattern (knitted or crocheted). These beautifully styled ‘coffee table’ booklets contain a full colour printed shade card of the yarn featured as the centre spread. At just €1 / £1 each, you can give a selection or choose your favourite and give with the yarn to complete the project. The After Party booklets are available in either Dutch or UK English.

As I am 4 days behind on my giveaways, I’m offering a set of 4 After Party booklets to 4 lucky people today. To have a chance of winning, go over to the Scheepjes facebookpage here, find the post about today’s giveaway. Like & share the post and in the comments tell us about the best party you ever attended! Good luck

I’m always sending craft related gifts or handmade projects to
friends and family. Only a crafter can really appreciate the joy of giving and
receiving craft related items. But wouldn’t it be perfect to give a yarn themed
card with your knit and crochet gifts?

Scheepjes has come up with a perfect
solution! Designed by illustrator Ashley Percival, these 3 fun sheep in woolly
hats and sweaters decorate a blank gift card. They are fun to write a personal
message to accompany a handmade shawl, a gift or yarn or a craft related book.
At a recommended retail price of €0,99 I’ve already stocked up with a few in the studio to keep at hand ‘as and when
needed’.

I have a pack of 6 cards to giveaway to one lucky reader. To be
in with a chance to win them, visit the Sheepjes Instagram page and press
follow. Find
today’s giveaway post on our Instagram feed and tell us what was the last
crafty gift you gave to someone. Good luck!
